Nursing Practice, 3rd Edition EXAM QUESTIONS
(9 TERMS) WITH VERIFIED DEFINITIONS
UPDATED 2024
1). Multiple choice
1. a nurse working in a pediatric clinic recognizes that which child is most at risk for
cognitive impairment?
a. an infant who is being fed reconstituted powdered formula
b. a toddler living in an older home that is being remodeled
c. a preschooler who attends a play group 3 days a week
d. a school-age child who rides a school bus 5 days a week
Ans: ANS: B
Older homes frequently have lead-based paint; paint chips generated by remodeling put
toddlers, who often put foreign objects in their mouths, at risk for exposure to lead which is
a known toxic substance that can affect cognitive function. Powdered formulas,
attendance at play groups, or riding on a school bus are not known to impair cognitive
development
2). 2. the nurse is reviewing new medication orders for several patients in a long-term care
facility. which patient does the nurse recognize as being at the highest risk for having
cognitive impairment related to prescribed medications?
a. the patient prescribed an antibiotic for a urinary tract infection
b. the patient prescribed a cholinesterase inhibitor for early alzheimer disease
c. the patient prescribed a n-blocker for hypertension
d. the patient prescribed a bisphosphonate for osteoporosis
Ans: ANS: C
Anti-hypertensives such as the -blockers can cause adverse changes in cognition. While an
infection can affect cognition, antibiotics do not generally cause cognitive changes. The
cholinesterase inhibitors are prescribed to slow the progression in cognitive decline for
patients diagnosed with Alzheimer disease. Bisphosphonates are used for osteoporosis
and are not generally a risk for altered cognition
3). 3. the nurse is developing a care plan for a patient newly admitted to a unit that cares for
patients with cognitive impairment. what is an important component of care for the patients
on this unit?
a. allow food selections from a menu with several choices.
